WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1859 .
THE SPEAKERSHIP.—We announced last week that W. C. Stratton had been elected Speaker of
the Assembly. His principal opponent in the nominating caucus was Phil. Moore of this county. On the
first ballot Stratton received 33 votes to 20 for Moore. The Senatorial question entered largely into the
contest for Speaker, and Moore was defeated because he was understood to be a friend of Gov. Weller—
the friends of all the other candidates, together with the influence of the custom house, uniting against
him, Phil’s. political friends in this county are much vexed at his defeat, and openly charge that it was
accomplished by unfair and corrupt influences. The Democratic members of the Assembly voted for
Chas. E. De Long, of Yuba, and the Republicans for Mr. Shepherd, of San Francisco.
A MODEL SIGN.—We notice that a new and elegant sign has lately been placed in front of the
Golden Gate Hotel, Broad street. It was painted by F. Mansell, and reflects great credit upon him as a
tasteful workman.
MARRIED. At North San Juan on the 3d inst., by Rev. Father Dalton, Mr. JAMES BRIGGS, to Miss
Mary C. NOONEN, all of that place.
At French Corral, on Monday, 3d inst., by R. H. Farquhar, Mr. PARHEM WALL of Marysville to Miss
HANNAH CRUSEN of Bloomfield township.
At Sweetland, Thursday, Jan. 6th, by R. H. Farquhar, W. C. COLBY, of North San Juan, to ADELAIDE
S. MARSH, of Sweetland.
SUICIDE.—The body of a man named [Thomas] Allen was found in a cabin at Wolf creek, not far
from Grass Valley, on Thursday last. From the circumstances it appears that he committed
suicide by shooting himself with a shot gun. The charge entered his left breast, making a
horrible wound, and must have killed him instantly. The man was last seen alive on Sunday
night, and probably had been dead two or three days when his body was discovered. Coroner
Bazely held an inquest on the body, and the jury returned a verdict that he committed suicide
while laboring under insanity. A few dollars in silver were found in his pockets. He was an
Englishman by birth, and about thirty-five years of age.
THROWN.—A Chinaman, who was riding along on the sidewalk, opposite our office, on Monday
morning, from some cause was thrown from his horse. His head came in contact with a post, breaking it
off, (the post, not the head,) and the Chinaman landed in the street, upon the only spot which had thawed
sufficiently to let him into the mud. After occupying his recumbent position for a short time, he slowly
emerged, one half of his person, and all of that ornamental appendage peculiar to brutes and Chinamen—
